First post here on trialscentral forum. So bike is new, a 2021 TXT Racing 300. This is the first trials bike I have owned. Having a lot of fun on it already. However, very disappointed to find that the kick starter fouls at end of travel with the foot peg. In first 2 days of riding, kick starter has significant gouges and foot peg shows contact as well. Apparently this must be an engineering design shortcoming (or necessary evil) due to need to locate the foot peg in travel path of the kick starter at its final down stroke. If this is considered "normal", then I suspect the kick start internals (bushings/seals/gears) will eventually suffer premature failure due to constant "hard contact striking", a result of repetitive starting of the engine. As a temporary fix I have rounded off the top of one foot peg tooth so it does not continue to gouge into the kick start. It now more so cradles the lever where it contacts and doesn't allow the lever to "stick" in the full down position imbedded in the foot peg opening. I am considering also adding a rubber sheath to the foot portion of the kick start lever or a piece of Teflon epoxied to the foot peg. Looking for anyone who has similar frustration and better ideas on a fix for this? Thanks in advance. Tom
